Homebank (open source, cross-platform): Homebank seems to be an attractive program, perhaps with fewer features (and an easier learning curve) than GnuCash has.(Killing it left an idle process that had to be tracked down and killed separately.) So Grisbi was a non-starter for me. Sadly, it repeatedly hung up (with no error messages) trying to import my QIF file, and had to be killed from a terminal. Grisbi (open source, cross-platform): Grisbi also seems to be well regarded among reviewers.Since I couldn't find a way to fix the errors, I gave up on GnuCash. The only way I could see to mark the problem transactions as reconciled (after fixing them) was to reconcile as of the transaction's date but that was a dismal failure, because GnuCash takes the balance as of the most recent reconciliation as the opening balance and will not let you specify a different opening balance. There is seldom a good reason to retroactively mark a transaction as reconciled, but correct a software error is one of them. (I put "transactions" in quotes because in at least one case there was a split in a transaction that was processed incorrectly.) GnuCash does not allow you to mark just any transaction as reconciled you can only mark it by actually reconciling the account. There were old and unreconciled "transactions" that were incorrect. More critically, they were off in ways I could not repair. Unfortunately, when it imported my Quicken QIF file, several (most?) of the account balances were off.
